We Begin With Intention

At 487 Contemporary Pilates, every session starts by slowing things down. 

As distractions fall away, your focus naturally shifts to your breath and alignment. 

Every movement is purposeful. 

Nothing is rushed. 

Nothing is wasted. 

As you move with control and intention, something begins to click.

This is how Pilates is meant to feel.

Strong. Resilient. Confident. 

Your Code For Strength

The 487 Method is a contemporary Pilates system rooted in foundation, precision, and control. 

Every session at 487 Contemporary Pilates follows this structure to help you build real, lasting strength. 

We don’t chase intensity. 

We’re building proper alignment and control to support your body. 

This is Pilates designed to work with your body, not against it.  

4 Pilates Principles

The standards every session is grounded in.

• Alignment – position before effort

• Control – nothing wasted, nothing rushed

• Breath – integrated, not decorative

• Intention – every movement has a reason

Intentional Movement. Lasting Strength.

This work is for people who want to feel better in their bodies, not perform for anyone else. 

At 487 Contemporary Pilates, I teach a Pilates method rooted in intention, precision, and control. 

Each session is tailored to you. 

Not rushed. 

Never cookie-cutter. 

This space is designed for you if you’re:

• 30+ navigating peri/menopause and wanting to build strength and stability through an evolving body.

• Postpartum and rebuilding deep core strength.

• Recovering from an injury and needing thoughtful, supportive guidance.

• A man who lifts but wants strength that translates beyond the weight room. 

• New to Pilates and looking for a refined, supportive introduction.

You’ll be challenged, but we will never rush through the movements. 

This work is about what your body needs. 

Because here, this isn’t just a workout. 

We build strength and confidence you’ll carry long after class ends.

Your Personalized Pilates Experience

Strength is Built Through Control.

Every session at 487 Contemporary Pilates is detail-driven, highly personalized, and designed to meet you where you are. 

Using this contemporary Pilates method, I’ll guide you through movements that help you feel stronger, more aligned, and more confident in your body. 

Start with Alignment: 

Clear instructions and hands-on guidance ensure safe, effective movement. 

Controlled, Purposeful Movements: 

Each exercise flows with intention; never rushing and no wasted effort. 

Foundational Strength Focus: 

Movements engage the right muscles to support posture, stability, and long-term strength. 

Adapted to You: 

Sessions are tailored to your goals, experience level, and any injuries or limitations.

Optional Athletic Push: 

If you’re ready for a greater challenge, we can elevate the work. By request, never by default. 

From your very first session, you’ll feel supported, understood, and capable of more than you expected. 

Whether it’s your first time in a fully equipped Pilates studio or you’re rebuilding strength, there’s space here to explore, grow, and feel confident in your movement.

“Hannah is nothing short of exceptional! She has this rare ability to completely kick your a** while making you feel supported, understood, and capable every step of the way. Whether it’s on the reformer or the mat, she helps you hone in on your target areas with incredible precision, making every movement feel intentional and effective. She constantly changes up the routine to keep things interesting—never repetitive, never boring—and always tuned in to what your body needs that day.

Her deep knowledge means she can adapt any exercise to work around old injuries or chronic pain without ever compromising the challenge. Her energy, humor, and genuine connection with clients create an environment where you somehow love and hate her simultaneously—your body shaking in that deeply satisfying, “I really needed this” kind of fatigue. She is truly a gift, and I highly recommend!”

Where Strength meets Radiance  

Try a Class with Me

I’m Hannah, a Certified Pilates Instructor and Founder of 487 Contemporary Pilates 

I created 487 Contemporary Pilates because I know what it feels like to need a space where you can just be. 

A space where you aren’t judged for trying something new. Or for pushing yourself. 

Through private Reformer Pilates classes, I help you carve out time to reconnect with your body and feel confident in how you move. 

This is a space for you to breathe, lean into the movement, and grow stronger. 

I lead each class with high energy, genuine connection, and a sense of humor that will have you laughing, even as your muscles shake. 

If you have ever felt overlooked in a Pilates class or unsure what you’d gain from taking classes, know this:

You’re already welcome here. 

From your very first session, you’ll feel supported, understood, and capable of more than you thought.

You’re in the right place. 

“I’ve started to notice little changes in how I move and feel…”

– Testimonial from current client

“I’m not the kind of person who loves stretching or slow workouts, but Hannah somehow made Pilates something I actually look forward to! She’s super patient, funny, and never makes you feel out of place, even if you’re a total beginner like me.

The moves are doable, but still make you feel like you’re improving every time. I’ve started to notice little changes in how I move and feel, and that’s coming from someone who used to hate anything involving flexibility! If you want a low-pressure, positive way to get stronger and feel better, definitely try a class with Hannah.”

How I Found Pilates (and Why I Never Left)

Years ago, a friend invited me to try Pilates. And from the very first session, I was hooked. 

The movement felt intentional. Energizing. Grounding. Radiant. 

And best of all? Sweating is not required! (I hate sweating.)

What surprised me most was how Pilates made me feel. 

More connected. More confident. More at home in my body.

I wanted others to experience this too. 

As I kept practicing, I noticed what was missing in so many studios:

• Rushed instruction

• Overcrowded classes

• Clients left guessing if they were doing it right

People deserve better.

They deserve personalized Pilates, thoughtful guidance, and an instructor who actually sees them. 

That’s why I opened 487 Contemporary Pilates. 

To create a studio where every client feels seen. Supported and challenged in exactly the way their body needs. A space where confidence grows one rep, one breath, one small win at a time.

Who I Work With

I’ve worked with many people from all walks of life, but I’m especially passionate about helping:

• People recovering from an injury.

• Moms who are rebuilding strength with postpartum Pilates.

• Beginners 40+ looking for a safe, supportive way to move again.

• Anyone wanting to feel confident, strong, and connected with their body.

No matter where you’re starting, my favorite part is always the same:

Watching clients surprise themselves. 

Strength builds.

Movement gets easier. 

And confidence follows. 

Is 487 Contemporary Pilates Right for You?

Have you ever felt overlooked in a crowded Pilates class, unsure if you were “doing it right”, or hesitant to try something new?

This space was created for you. 

487 Contemporary Pilates is a private Pilates studio in Los Angeles, which means:

• Real attention.

• Real personalization.

• And room for real life.

No daycare? Short on time? Bring your little one with you. 

A little noise or distraction is always welcome here. 

I’ll meet you exactly where you are and help you move forward from there. 

See what my clients are saying…

I am more in tune with my body, in less pain, and more capable because of finding movement through Pilates with Hannah. I’ve always enjoyed moving my body, but didn’t realize my foundation created dysfunctional movement patterns, as I have scoliosis and therefore dealt with pain because of it. 

After starting Pilates with Hannah, I’ve strengthened muscles I didn’t know existed and am more mobile and aware of how to safely progress and challenge my body. Hannah is incredibly knowledgeable about Pilates and how to attribute that information to each of her clients in order to meet their goals.

I walk into every session knowing that what my body needs each day will be heard, and I always feel challenged and cared for in her studio. I highly recommend anyone to take a session with her, and you’ll quickly discover what true Pilates is with a skilled and fun instructor who’ll have you coming back for more. 

Let’s Get Moving!

If you are brand new or coming back to movement, I’ll meet you exactly where you are.
